Cabled waves ripple across the surface of this generously sized cowl, suggesting the fresh beauty of the loch it’s named for. The angled seam adds dramatic interest and a softly spreading shape. Lustrous BFL/silk from The Wool Kitchen makes for a fluid, glowing fabric to wrap you in comfort after a swim - or any other time.

Size
Depth: 41 cm / 16 in
Circumference at bottom edge: 147.5 cm / 58 in
Circumference at neck edge: 55.5 cm / 22 in

Yarn
The pattern requires 640 m / 700 yds DK yarn. I recommend using a rounded yarn that will give good stitch definition to the finished cowl. The finished fabric should have good drape at the stated gauge.
